Daily Specials For May 2019(the * means that the date may not be the same each year)

Special Days Archive – Direct links to the most recent Special Days and Resource lists for each month.

I make my monthly special days lists by using several sources including old calendars, holiday books, newspapers, and the web. If you know of a special day that I do not have listed, please comment and let me know what it is so I can add it in. Below are the links to my favorite online calendars.

Resources for May “Daily Specials” – (The following list is not yet complete. I’ll be updating the daily specials with resources as we go through the month, so check back. And, if you have special day resource favorites, be sure to let me know and I’ll edit them in.)

Recently, I was asked what resources to use for teaching from the Special Days posts. Every month has different topics, but I turn to the same tried and trusted web sites as I collect resources for our Special Days learning. Below is a list of those I find to be the most helpful when preparing our “from the calendar” studies. I hope that you will find them helpful, too.
